I dissembled an eGo Mega Dual Coil Cartomizer and it was fairly easy to do. So I started looking at it and thought that I should be able to turn it into a genesis fairly simply. I can replace the connector with one from a Ce2 to give me a solid air channel up the middle and then place a horizontal coil at the top of it with the SS wick hanging down into the poly fill.
My only concern is weather the SS wick will pull enough juice up out of the poly fill to keep it wet enough. And also How I will do the negative termination. I am also thinking of using the ceramic sleeve as a wick and having it's unraveled ends embedded down in the poly fill.
I will also have to shorten the whistle tip body that sticks in the carto to give me room for the coil but that thing is so long it shouldn't be an issue.
I am headed to Fargo this morning so I will probably work on it next week to see how well it works. Of course that is if I have enough time between working on the co-op and PWM projects
For anybody interested in the de construction proses it is real easy. I used a needle nose pliers to pull the poly fill out and rip out the wires and coils. Then used a #3 Philips to push the center contact out. Then using the same #3 and a hammer while hanging onto the body I tapped out the connector. Then take a 3/8" ratchet extension or anything that is small enough to fit inside of the body but bigger than the connector hole and tap out the bottom. That's it, it is completely dis-assembled. It does take a lot of tapping with the hammer as there is no way to get a solid hold on the body without distorting it.
